Black Hole

Image
Black Hole A  black hole  is a region of  spacetime  exhibiting such strong  gravitational  effects that nothing—not even  particles  and  electromagnetic radiation  such as  light —can escape from inside it. [1]  The theory of  general relativity  predicts that a sufficiently compact  mass  can deform  spacetime  to form a black hole. [2] [3]  The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called the  event horizon . Although the event horizon has an enormous effect on the fate and circumstances of an object crossing it, no locally detectable features appear to be observed. [4]  In many ways a black hole acts like an ideal  black body , as it reflects no light. Moreover,  quantum field theory in curved spacetime  predicts that event horizons emit  Hawking radiation , with  the same spectrum  as a black body of a temperature inve...
